In his speech, Attenborough concretely explained the importance of the Conference taking place now, with the thoughts of future children. Stating that if we are strong enough to upset the balance of the world because we act separately, we are strong enough to save it when we are together, Attenborough said, “This is why the whole world looks at you with hope. You are here for that hope. ” he concluded.
The report, released in August, showed that the world was on the brink:
The report published by the UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change in August stated that the target of the Paris Climate Agreement to keep the global temperature increase well below 2 degrees Celsius this century would not be possible unless major restrictions on carbon emissions were realized in the world. Despite all this, according to other current UN statements, governments are planning to produce twice as many fossil fuels as their promises by 2030, and carbon emissions of rich countries are increasing rapidly in 2021.
